    One VERY good reason not to run SP3 is possible HIPAA and 21CFR11
    regulation issues - since the license for SP3 technically gives
    Microsoft unfettered access to your PC, any company under those
    regulations could be in violation of those regulations.

    This affects just about any medical facility.

    Thanks,
    Thane

    This is true, but if you are running a production network, I can't see
    much
    of a reason as to why you wouldn't want all of your servers and
    workstations
    running SP3, but I'm sure there are special circumstances.

    Actually, you can get the client as a separate msi file. Sp3 isnt really
    needed for SUS to function.

    All workstations must be running SP3 in order to be compatible with SuS
    as
    Thane just stated...

    Have you also installed the Windows Update client via group policy on
    the client machines? This is necessary before the machines will see the
    SUS server.

    Thanks,

    I have configured a test SUS server. It downloads the patches fine, but
    I can't seem to get the client to connect and download patches. I set
    Windows Update in the Group Policy to "enable", and set it to the server
    "http://peter" (the name of the test SUS server). How do I know if it
    is actually connecting to it? It doesn't mention Thomas (this computer)
    connecting to it in the SUS log, but it does say that it successfully
    d/led the patches to Peter. How do I check? When I go to "windows
    update" in the Start menu that just connects me to Microsoft's page...
